Lockyer's late vote cause of Clive Churchill confusion

Darren Lockyer was one of three judges who struggled to get his Clive Churchill Medal votes through on a phone app in time, with the delay prompting at least one official to inform Jared Waerea-Hargreaves he was about to receive the grand final gong only for it to go to Jack Wighton.

Wighton was the first player in a losing side since Manly's Daly Cherry-Evans in 2013 to collect the prized award.
